Chapter 10 - The Brother

  When the meeting was adjourned at two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Ri promotes thrift and frugality, but also no working meals can eat, declined a few town and county leaders to invite him to go to dinner with the invitation, Tang Yi came to the Qi Jie's small restaurant.   Not meal time, there are not a few people in the store, Tang Yi walked into a young man is squatting on the ground, carrying a mop bucket to clean the dirt on the ground, the young man has a thick head of shawl hair, the cold day light a bladder, you can see his fine naked back a few long wounds.   Hearing the footsteps, the young man got up and turned around, gesturing and asking Tang Yi: "Hey, buddy, who are you looking for? Or are you here for Misi Misi?" He revealed a mouthful of white teeth as he spoke, and his appearance was good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a bit of handsomeness.   Waitress Xiaoling already flew over like a swallow and said with a smile, "Ya, Secretary Tang, are you here to find Sister Qi?" Without waiting for Tang Yi to answer, she turned around and shouted, "Sister Qi, Sister Qi! Secretary Tang is here!"   Tang Yi frowned and said, "How dare you say I can't come for dinner? Get me some food, I'm starving!"   "No, it's not ......" The little girl was startled, suddenly remembering the taboo of leading cadres, her face went white, and she hurriedly said, "No, you ...... I know I know, you are here to eat, not to see Sister Qi's ...... not" The more you say, the more you feel that your words are outrageous, anxious tears are going to fall.   Tang Yi couldn't help but smile, "into you, see you scared, turn around your sister Qi said I bullied you, I came to eat, by the way to see your sister Qi, a few days have not seen, quite want her."   "Ah, well ......" the little girl coyly, heard Tang Yi's words, that young man heard the "Tang Secretary" this three words slightly hostile gaze but gradually ease down.   He is Qi Jie's younger brother, Qi Jun, originally heard that he could be released is a town secretary to help his sister, the heart can not say the twisted, and even sister sulked, arguing that he is to eat the cell also do not need to sister head, because he vaguely know, sister to help themselves when they can rely on what is there? Probably, only her body.   But see Tang Yi, is not his own imagination old and ugly, more listen to Tang Yi bluntly said "want their sister", Qi Jun immediately changed his view, no matter how to say, this seems to be younger than their own age secretary has so many points of boldness.   "Secretary Tang, thank you for my matter." With Qi Jun's rebellious character can respectfully say this sentence, it is really rare, hurriedly rushed out from the inside of Qi Jie heard, can not help but gently smile, it seems that he, really have a share of indescribable charm, the first time they met his brother seems to have served him, originally also worried about his brother to see Tang Yi make a fuss of Qi Jie this put down the heart.   Tang Yi and Qi Jie sat down face to face, Qi Jie shouted to the kitchen to open the meal, open mouth are some expensive dish name, Tang Yi laughed: "How, really want me to be corrupted ah?"   Qi Jie smiled and said, "You only charged me a hundred bucks for selling me that spot, do you know how much I've earned in the past few days? Counting it up I've taken advantage of a good deal." When she turned around, she saw Qi Jun standing on the side with his ears perked up and eavesdropping, she couldn't help but snap, "Junzi, go and get busy with your business! There are no rules!"   Tang Yi waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter, and looked at the mop in Qi Jun's hand and couldn't help but frown, "You're letting him do this?"   Qi Jie said, "The store is busy these days, so I asked him to help out! It's not a good idea for such a big man to be idle all day long. But he just won't listen, he'll fish for three days and sun-dry the nets for two!"   Tang Yi laughed and shook his head, "For a young man of his age, if you ask him to do odd jobs, sweep the floor and do cleaning, can he do it? It's not like that."   Hearing Tang Yi's words, Qi Jun hurriedly came over and exclaimed, "That's right, Secretary Tang, you've simply spoken to my heart, tell me, does my sister not love me?"   Looking at the playful Qi Jun, Tang Yi's face slowly sank, saying in a deep voice, "What did you say? Your sister doesn't love you? Your sister doesn't love you, do you know where you should be right now? You should be squatting in a bitter kiln! Suffering! Do you know what your sister has tried to do to save you? Do you know? Do you know how many tears your sister shed for you?"   The more Tang Yi spoke, the angrier he got, and his voice got higher and higher: "You think it's cool to fight and chop people up, isn't it? In fact, you belong to the most incompetent group of people! Who would fight if they are capable? To put it bluntly, people like you are the dregs of society! The lowest of the low! When you get into trouble, you have to ask your sister to clean up the mess, aren't you ashamed to be a man?"   Qi Jun was lectured with his mouth open, unable to say a word, every word from Tang Yi was like a knife plucking into his heart, he didn't want to hear it, but had to admit that what people said was the truth.   "Forget it, don't, don't scold him ......" Qi Jie some heartache brother, especially afraid of brother's self-esteem can't stand.   "You ah you! Spoiling is also a sin know?" Tang Yi shook his head helplessly, turning to Qi Jie, his voice slowly becoming softer.   Qi Jun's face flushed in bursts of red and white, after a long period of silence, he slowly tilted his face up and said in a slow voice, "Brother Tang, you're right, I promise that in the future, I'll never let my sister worry about me again."   Qi Jie looked at Qi Jun with surprise, this brother of his, how did he not storm out? How come he didn't fly off the handle and run away? These, however, were his usual reactions after he had slightly criticized him for a few sentences.   Tang Yi said these reasons Qi Jun is not do not understand, is not Qi Jie did not say with him, but Qi Jun was not very convinced, today, the face of Tang Yi this age and their own almost big young man, a than their own may not be older than one or two years, but as if moving a small finger can be crushed to death of their own young man, just casually so that a sit, their own in front of him but can feel that great pressure of the young man, Qi Jun finally have a sense of what is called Qi Jun finally had a sense of realization, what is called bull? I used to fight and kill the idea of heroes and this young man a comparison, is so childish.   Hearing Qi Jun's assurance, Tang Yi nodded slightly, "Well, be down-to-earth! If you can do it and stick to it, I'll help you find a good job!"   "Ya ......" Qi Jie opened her mouth wide and looked at Tang Yi in surprise, how could she not have imagined that Tang Yi would give this promise to Qi Jun. She had seen Tang Yi's prowess before, and knew how much weight Tang Yi's words carried.   Seeing the gratitude in Qi Jie's eyes, Tang Yi laughed, "Come on, you weren't so moved when I helped you scold that big brother Zhang in the Public Security Bureau, really."   In Qi Jie's heart, his own stubborn brother is the most let himself hang on, but Tang Yi not only three words to make him make a change of attitude, but also promised to help him find a job, then, can have a good formal job is decent, Qi Jie heart is really indescribable gratitude, and even suddenly had a kind of is Tang Yi now want her to die, she also die without regret of the excitement.   However, when she heard Tang Yi suddenly say "Big Brother Zhang" in a teasing manner, Qi Jie blushed, gave Tang Yi a blank look, and turned her head away from him. If Qi Jun wasn't right next to her, she would have stretched out her long nails to pinch Tang Yi.
